If you were to ask almost anyone in the world what is the best car made, I think a very high percentage would answer, Rolls-Royce. Charles Rolls and Henry Royce formed a partnership in 1904 about the same time as Henry Ford was getting his company operating. Both, of course, were very successful, but their goals were about as far apart as any could be in the same industry.
Here’s a little trivia. All Rolls-Royce cars since 1911 have the “Spirit of Ecstasy” nose ornament called a mascot. The story goes that the model for this sculpture was Eleanor Velasco Thornton, the secretary and secret mistress of Lord Montagu, a significant investor in the company. The first sculpture was called “The Whisper” with the woman’s finger to her lips symbolizing the secret romance.
This issue’s featured vehicle is a very rare 1928 Rolls-Royce Phantom I owned by Gordon Johnson, of Alamo. It is one of only two built in a U.S. Rolls-Royce plant in Springfield, Massachusetts. Both were originally sold to Mrs. Carroll Tyson of Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania, for $19,000 each — or about $698,060 in today’s dollars. She was the great-granddaughter of John Roebling, designer of the Brooklyn Bridge and manufacturer of the wire rope for the Brooklyn and Golden Gate bridges.
